A condensed-matter calculator

Published Mar 1, 2006• 0 citations

Abstract

Could Bose–Einstein condensates be used as calculators? According to Yvan Castin at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory in Paris and co-workers the answer is “yes”. It seems that these exotic states of matter could be used to visualize the roots of random polynomials for the first time ( Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 040405).

Bose — Einstein Condensation

Th.M. El-Sherbini

This article gives a brief review of Bose‐Einstein condensation. It is an exotic quantum phenomenon that was observed in dilute atomic gases for the first time in 1995. It exhibits a new state of matter in which a group of atoms behaves as a single particle. Experiments on this form of matter are relevant to many different areas of physics‐ from atomic clocks and quantum computing to super fluidity, superconductivity and quantum phase transition.

“Ultracold Quantum Matter” Project (UQUAM)

Jean Dalibard

In 2012, the European Research Council (ERC) launched a call for proposals, named Synergy, with the aim of promoting collaborative research between European research groups. Our team, which is currently working on Bose-Einstein condensates at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory, is part of the fortunate eleven winning consortiums, with a theme that may seem a little mysterious: ultra-cold quantum matter.The starting point of this project is the interaction between light and matter. This interacti...

Bose-Einstein Condensates in Optical Lattices in the Nonlinear Regime

O. Morsch, E. Arimondo

Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices are a valuable tool for investigating the nonlinear dynamics of matter waves in periodic potentials. In this review, we present and discuss recent experiments on the free expansion, nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling and instabilities of condensates in such potentials.

Probing quantum origins of the classical

Wojciech Hubert Zurek

The interpretation of quantum theory has always been a controversial subject. Since its inception early this century, it has been apparent that the rules that govern the quantum domain appear to be at odds with the familiar classical universe. Yet quantum theory is without doubt more fundamental. Whenever anything is investigated in detail, quantum rules invariably prevail, yielding correct predictions in all of the tested cases. But everything, including all of the objects we encounter in the "classical domain" of our everyday experience, is undoubtedly made out of quantum pieces. So how can it be that the quantum weirdness never makes it out of the quantum underworld? An ingenious experiment recently carried out at the Kastler-Brossel Laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris has just begun to explore the quantum-classical boundary (M Brune et al. 1996 Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 4887).

Toward a tomographic picture of a Bose–Einstein condensate

Stefano Mancini, Mauro Fortunato, Paolo Tombesi +1 more

The possibilities of applying tomographic techniques to a Bose-Einstein condensate to reconstruct its ground state are investigated by means of numerical simulations. Two situations for which the density-matrix elements can be retrieved from atom counting probabilities are considered. The methods presented here allow one to distinguish among various possible quantum states.
